about.
PRESENCE. is a curated space for movement,
recovery and connection in Palma de Mallorca.
We don’t teach you to perform.
We don’t promise a better version of you.
We invite you to enjoy your own company —
to value the presence you bring to yourself.
Here, movement may be intense — strong,
demanding, full of effort. Or slow, quiet,
calming to the nervous system.
Either is welcome.
What falls away is not the effort,
but the pressure to prove anything.
This is the luxury of being:
to move, to rest, to simply be here —
in the body you have, in the life you live.
Palma de Mallorca.
PRESENCE. did not choose Palma de Mallorca
as a location. It began here.
This is the place that teaches us to slow down —
to meet ourselves with more kindness, more ease.
An island that holds everything at once:
mountains and turquoise sea, quiet and life,
the simplest pleasures and the finest.
A place where being is enough.
PRESENCE. could not have begun anywhere else.
founder.
PRESENCE. was founded by Deborah Davis.
Her relationship with the body began early —
fifteen years of classical ballet and stage dance,
years of boxing and running. Disciplines that
demanded much, and taught her how a body
truly moves.
What she teaches now is different.
Not movement as a means to an end,
but movement as something to be enjoyed.
Her training reflects both body and mind:
over a thousand hours of yoga education,
including a 300-hour yoga therapy
training across seven modules — from the spine
and nervous system to breath, stress and
recovery. A training in Nuad Thai massage
adds a skilled hands-on dimension to her work.
Alongside this, a systemic coaching
qualification from the INeKO Institute at the
University of Cologne, complemented by
hypnosystemic methods.
In her work, she also draws on somatic bodywork
and sound work — tools to reach the body
and settle the nervous system, in private
sessions and coaching alike.
Long before Palma de Mallorca,
she founded YOGA [MOVE:MENTS] —
two yoga studios in Cologne, Germany that
she leads to this day, and
where she trains the next generation of teachers in
200-hour trainings in Vinyasa and in Yin,
both registered with Yoga Alliance.
It taught her what scale cannot give:
the quiet attention of a small room,
the difference it makes to see one person fully,
when nothing is rushed.
This is the foundation of PRESENCE.
anatomical precision and a deep understanding
of the nervous system, held in a space that
asks nothing of you.
